The Church of Star Wars has recently declared that the Extended Universe is no longer canon ! Like a religious edict, it means that everything that was not part of the movies (comics, novels, games) is no longer deemed to have "happened" and with it Tungo Li, the character based on my face dies !!

Thériault as Tungo Li

It's true, i'm not making this up...In 2006, Michel Lacombe was the great artist behind the
Star Wars Rebellion comic and was asked to create the visuals for a new
character that was to be the chief of the spy network of the Rebels. A
few photos and my face was used to create him.

Tungo Li knows everything....

I get to say that Luke Skywalker is just an "emotionally imbalanced farmhand" and get away with it.
But sadly, I won't be called to play my role in Star Wars VII....

Star Wars Rebellion, written by Rob Williams and drawn by Michel Lacombe with help by myself on background and photos (camera and model !) .

About moi.

I'm an illustrator working in comics, books and magazines illustration and animation design. I've been doing that for the last 20 years professionally (more if I count my teen years in fanzines..). All cartoonists have a character that has followed them. Mine is Veena. You can read all her stories here and buy the books here. My style has been described as a mix of Russ Manning, early Marvel comics and Metal Hurlant's brand of ligne claire.
